Motivational Speaker Rendon Labador addressed the content creators who complained about why internet sensation, Deo Balbuena, also known as “Diwata,” was reportedly prioritizing the popular content creators who visited him, instead of small-time vloggers.

It can be recalled that some content creators expressed their disappointment after they noticed Diwata becoming more accommodating with popular vloggers like Rendon, and Alex Gonzaga.

They also complained about why Diwata was limiting the area where vloggers could film their content.

Diwata already made a plea to some content creators to give him privacy.

However, Rendon said that small-time vloggers should learn not to film Diwata only for views and money.

According to him, it would be better if vloggers helped Diwata to promote his business.

“Tulungan kasi natin sa pag content para ma promote siya, huwag yung i content ninyo para gatasan sa mga views ninyo,” said Rendon.

Some followers of our website believed that Rendon was correct.

“Tama ka po idol.. yung iba kasi diyan mag-fe-feeling vlogger tapos gagamitin si Diwata. Tapos kung hindi mapansin ni Diwata kung ano-anong isyu ang gagawin para mapansin… Tulungan sana wag hilahin pababa,” netizen Bot said.

Meanwhile, Diwata said that he didn’t mind being filmed by content creators, saying that they’re the reason why his business became popular.

Andi Eigenmann said that she postponed her wedding with Philmar Alipayo due to the unfortunate things that happened recently.

In an interview, Andi explained that her mother, Jaclyn Jose’s untimely passing was the reason why they’re not planning to tie the knot this year.

She admitted that she was still mourning what happened to her mother.

“Honestly, we wanted to get married this year. But under the circumstances, we decided to wait a bit. It was supposed to be for mom,” said Andi.

“Slowly, I hope I will get there. But I know she is proud, she loves me, and her grandchildren so I will focus on the good things, and my family,” she added.

She also shared that her children accepted what happened to their grandmother.

“It is touching. My two younger children, without having to explain, they understand the situation. We always go to Manila, so they always look for ‘Nanay.’ They really wondered. But now, I think they understand now. Which is weird, since they are so young,” she stated.

It can be recalled that Jaclyn passed away last March due to heart condition.

Kristine Hermosa was willing to reunite with her ex-boyfriend, Jericho Rosales for a project as long as they would follow the conditions she set.

In an interview with MJ Marfori, Kristine revealed the requirements she wanted before collaborating with Jericho.

“Oo naman. Pero depende talaga. Depende sa project, depende sa mga eksena, basta depende. I need to see everything muna. Need kong i-filter lahat. Kung worth it naman, gagawin namin. Hindi ‘yung masabing may nagawa lang,” she said.

Kristine said that her husband, Oyo Sotto, didn’t oppose her possible reunion project with Jericho.

“Wala namang problema. Very professional naman kami. Kung gusto ko, susuporta naman siya. The thing is, choice ko talaga. Ayoko kasing gumagawa ng kung ano-ano lang unless if it’s worth it and worth my time and effort ko. Basta ‘yung magandang project, ‘yung may katuturan,” she stated.

It can be recalled that Kristine and Jericho’s love team became one of the most popular in the country and it was proven by gaining the second highest rating for any Filipino-made TV series on their soap Pangako Sa ‘Yo.

Kristine and Jericho were reportedly in a relationship from 2000 to 2004.

In 2009, Jericho admitted that his romance with Kristine ended due to the pressure of being busy as an actor.

“Ako. Ako nga ang (nakipaghiwalay). Hindi ko lang kinaya ang pressure ng mga trabaho ng lahat,” he said.

Darren Espanto revealed his relationship with GMA actress Jillian Ward.

It can be recalled that many Kapuso and Kapamilya fans shipped Darren and Jillian during their meeting on It’s Showtime.

In an interview with Boy Abunda, Darren admitted that he was actively building his friendship with Jillian.

He was also surprised that Jillian quickly followed him on Instagram after their meeting on the Kapamilya noontime show.

“Nagulat po kaming dalawa, kasi hindi po namin in-expect,” said Darren. “After that episode, I was surprised, kasi siya pa ang unang nag-follow po sa akin, so I followed her back,”

Darren also clarified that they’re already getting to know each other already.

“Hindi naman po. Friends lang. Getting to know each other. Kasi syempre, that’s the first time we ever met po, noong launch [ng It’s Showtime] sa GMA. So, malay po natin, makapag-prod po kami sa Showtime.” he stated.

“Kasi before we parted ways, parang napag-usapan nga namin na sana one day, we could do a collaboration, kasi nagsama kami sa parang corporate event before and she can also sing…And she asked if one day pwede akong mag-guest sa YouTube channel niya – Opo, siyempre. I’m very open,” he added.

It can be recalled that many fans believed that Darren’s “best friend” Cassy Legaspi was suddenly left out due to the chemistry between the Kapamilya actor and Jillian.

After Darren and Jillian’s meeting, Cassy started to share ‘cryptic posts’ on her social media page.

Dennis Padilla admitted that he realized many things after he was called out by his own son, Leon Barretto, last year.

In an interview, Dennis said he toned down his public statements about his children, Leon, Julia, and Claudia.

“Gusto ko lang makarating na I remember them on these special days.” said Dennis. “So, inalis ko na yun. Hindi ko na ginagawa yon,” 

Now, Dennis was only posting about his children during special days as a way to remind them that he still remembers them.

“Parang yun lang ang paraan ko para maka-reach out sa kanila,” he stated.

It can be recalled that in 2023, Leon made an open letter to his father and accused him of seeking sympathy from the public.

“It’s not that we don’t want to talk to you, but the few times that we do to resolve the issues, you communicate by shouting, cursing, and using hurtful words that traumatize us. Is public sympathy really more important to you than your own children? Your words have the power to destroy your children, papa. It’s exhausting, papa. As the only man in the family, this is me stepping up to protect my sisters,” he said.

Dennis then made a response to Leon and reminded him of how he supported them in the past.

A customer went viral on social media after she confronted the staff of Diwata Pares Overload, which is owned by internet celebrity Deo Balbuena, a.k.a “Diwata.”

A video uploaded by @hiram_ryu, showed the clip where the woman could be heard asking the staff to return her money as she was not satisfied with the food served to her.

At first, the woman was looking for Diwata, but only the staff approached her.

“Asan na si Diwata? Ibalik ninyo kahit ‘yung pera ko nalang, hindi ako nasasarapan,” the woman said.

Netizens quickly defended Diwata from the people who were using the fame gained by the internet celebrity to gain popularity on social media.

“Wala feeling entitled un ganyan. magkano lang naman binayaran nila pero kung umasta parang malaki ang binayaran. parang kala mo buong pagkatao ng staff at may ari ang binayaran. kahit gaano talaga nakakaangat ang isang tao di talaga mabibili ang gmrc,” netizen Wil said.

“Pag ako di nasarapan sa pagkain, di na ako bumabalik pero di ko naman isosoli kasi nakain ko na eh. Pag may nagtanong sa akin kung masarap, bibigay ko opinion ko. Kung magbibigay man ako ng feedback sa store owner, hindi yung bulgar na dinig ng lahat,” netizen Merci remarked.

“Also hindi pwede ibalik yung naorder na pagkain kung wala namang problema mismo sa pagkain, kumbaga may nakita na dumi etc etc. Eh gusto niya ibalik dahil di lang siya nasarapan. Edi sana binigay na lang niya sa iba. Tsaka po libre lang maging mabait 🙂 try niyo,” netizen Eth commented.

It can be recalled that another vlogger also made content to criticize the service of Diwata Pares Overload.

Iba-iba tayo ng taste & since di ko pa na-try ‘yang binili mo, I won’t invalidate your dissatisfaction. However, I don’t think it’s necessary na iparinig mo pa sa ibang customers ‘yong saloobin mo. A little respect to the owner & his staff won’t hurt. ✌️ pic.twitter.com/inm1sTIoXc

Businessman Chavit Singson believed that transgender and married women should not join Miss Universe.

Singson, who was one of the major sponsors of the 2016 Miss Universe held in the Philippines, said that while he was not against the LGBTQIA+ community and married women, he believed that there was a reason why the prestigious pageant was called “Miss Universe.”

“Kaya nga ‘Miss’ ang nakalagay sa Miss Universe beauty contest. Tapos hahaluan ng iba,” he said.

It can be recalled that Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz also insisted that the pageant should be exclusively for biological, unmarried women.

“Edi dapat, ‘Universe’ na lang, huwag nang ‘Miss.’ Kasi, hindi na ‘Miss’ yon, ‘di ba? Dapat ‘Universe,'” she said.

“My personal opinion—which is not to be taken in a negative way—dapat may sarili silang contest. May Mrs. Universe, may Lesbian Universe, may Transgender Universe,” she added.

It can be recalled that Miss Universe Organization owner Anne Jakrajutatip allowed transwomen and married women to join the competition.

However, Jakrajutatip received criticism after a blogger published a video showing her trying to justify her decision to allow transgender and married women to join Miss Universe, saying that they cannot win the competition anyway.

“Now that we changed the age limit, they can compete and come back again. This is a strategy because you understand that they can compete but they cannot win,” she reportedly said.

Social media phenomenon, Deo Balbuena, also known as “Diwata” was now visited, not only by small content creators, but also by some celebrities including Alex Gonzaga, and Rendon Labador.

However, there were reports that some small-time content creators were not happy with the influx of celebrities visiting Diwata as they believed those famous figures weren’t there when he was just starting to do business.

Some of them even claimed that Diwata was prioritizing his celebrity visitors now.

“Hindi kami makapag-content ng maayos sa Paresan ni Diwata kasi mas inaasikaso niya yung mga sikat na bumibisita sa kanya,” one content creator said.

“Sana naman unahin niya kami kasi kami yung kasama niya noong sa bangketa pa siya nagtitinda,” another vlogger commented.

Meanwhile, content creator Mark Jayson Warnakulahewa warned Diwata to be careful and secure his future as his social media popularity was not permanent and content creators who were visiting him every day would leave him once his trend was over.

He also claimed that content creators earned hundreds of thousands of pesos by just recording Diwata’s activities every day.

Due to his popularity, Diwata already banned all vloggers from entering his kitchen and also asked them to give him privacy.

Actress and television host Shaira Diaz admitted that she was disappointed after she caught her fiance, EA Guzman while watching bold videos.

In an interview with talent manager and showbiz reporter Ogie Diaz, Shaira shared some stories about her love life, including the story about how she caught EA when she looked at his browser history.

“Nung nakita ko ‘yung history, na hindi ko inaasahan: ’Ano ‘to? Sino ‘to?’ […] Sabi niya kasi tapos na raw siya doon. Ganyan. Matanda na raw siya para doon. Tapos nakita ko ‘yung history, mayroong ano. Tapos umiyak ako,” she said.

“Umiyak ako kasi nasaktan ako. Kasi siyempre, sinasabi kasi nila na normal lang sa lalaki na manood ng ganito, ganyan-ganyan. [Pero] bakit parang kailangang i-normalize?” she added.

According to her, the actions of EA made her assume that she was still not enough for her fiance.

“Kasi para sa akin, parang kung nanonood ka noon e ‘di parang pinagpapantasyahan mo ‘yung ibang babae…Hindi ko alam. Basta, nasaktan talaga ako,” she stated.

It can be recalled that EA and Shaira were practicing celibacy during their 11-year relationship.

Shaira decided to engage in celibacy as she believed that “one’s body is sacred,” but clarified that she still respects the choices of other couples.
